More football rant
我也转篇博:
90年代我倒是看球的,但是对他没有印象(只记住了古利特的小辫子,产生了三剑客都很难看的记忆),这段时间在裁判席上看到相当惊艳,气质超群啊
按这里的说法,荷兰这次世界杯赛前期望就不高,范巴斯滕应该不会挨太多骂,至少不会被迫走人。当然,他其实叫范巴斯滕,叫他巴斯滕,就象叫“德萨”、“德法特”、“佩西”一样奇怪。但这得怪当年的中国记者太土,愣是几千人如一口地管他叫巴斯滕,所以我也习惯叫他巴斯滕了。
他的球员生涯已无需我再着一词。太炫目了以至于我不知道该从哪里开始说起。还是贴张他88年淘汰德国的那一球吧。
现在我们提起他,焦点当然在于他现在的身份:荷兰队主教练。他和里杰卡尔德不一样。里杰卡尔德升任国家队主教练时,从希丁克那里接手的是世界上最强大的三到四支队伍之一,95Ajax一代正在鼎盛时期,博格坎普也宝刀未老,每个位置都有全世界最好的球员压阵,因此在00欧洲杯前成为头号热门。里杰卡尔德本来就是希丁克的助手,也基本继承了希丁克的打法,又不需要打预选赛,因此基本上没有受到什么考验,也没有做大的变动,就打起了00欧洲杯。荷兰队在这届杯赛上基本延续了98世界杯的精彩表现,只是对意大利那场实在太丢人,也太倒霉。赛后里杰卡尔德立即辞职,虽然他现在在巴塞罗那重新大红大紫,但荷兰队基本没有太多他的烙印。

巴斯滕的情况则完全不同。他在当荷兰队主教练前是阿贾克斯青年队的教练,跟前任艾德沃卡特没有任何关系。艾德沃卡特虽然在欧洲杯上也进入了四强,但荷兰队的表现很不令人信服,因此艾德沃卡特也被大家骂得狗血喷头。巴斯滕接手荷兰队时,多名主力宣布退出国家队,包括在国家队出场次数历史第一的佛兰克・德波尔,和后来巴斯滕打电话请求复出却仍然不肯回来的斯坦姆。这批人的退出,再加上95Ajax的其他人要么年事渐高,要么状态全无,全队拿得出手的好像只剩下范德萨、范尼、罗本老中青三人,以至于巴斯滕接任时,荷兰足协甚至都没有要求他一定要打入06世界杯。
然而巴斯滕再一次成就了奇迹。他重新铸造起一支荷兰队,被他召人国家队试用的队员多得让人眼花缭乱,很多年轻队员居然就此坐稳了国家队的位置。这支队伍不再叫95Ajax一代,也不是艾德沃卡特式的名气炒锅,而是巴斯滕的队伍。他带着这支队伍创造了荷兰历史上最好的世界杯预选赛成绩――这是74、88、98三支梦之队都没做到的。
当然,再死忠的荷兰球迷也得承认,这个成绩里有很大的运气成分,在更严峻的世界杯分组里,荷兰队还能有多少运气,谁也不知道。让死忠荷兰球迷更不爽的是,这支荷兰队已经不是我们熟悉的那支全攻全守控制全场的球队了。由于中场实力的下降,现在的荷兰队甚至经常连控球时间都不如对手,预选赛四场重要比赛虽然都2:0拿下来了,但场面并不好看。这还在荷迷中引发了一场要胜利还是要好看的争论。
巴斯滕本人的说法是,这支球队是为2008年欧洲杯组建的,再给他两年时间,他就能带出一支既好看又能赢的球队。我是相信这个说法的,因为当初荷兰足协跟他订合同时,就是以2008年欧洲杯为目标,06世界杯的成绩只是个附带产品而已。这也可以解释为什么巴斯滕坚决不用西多夫、戴维斯。
这次世界杯的分组实在凶险,荷兰队不出线和杀入四强一样地可能。但这次荷兰队难得的低调,队内也空前团结,阵容虽然说不上豪华,但也经受住了预选赛的考验。让我们看看巴斯滕又将带给我们什么新的奇迹吧。
最后贴张巴斯滕接受荷兰电视女王Linda de Mol采访时的照片。

Wasn't Klinsman in the same generation as van Basten? Both were forwards, both were quite successful, both are now coaches. And Klinsman was world champion wasn't he? And Germany is still in the tournament! He obviously has an edge over the "Lord and Taylor shirt model." Is it because he is not as pretty? Is it me or do Chinese football fans have a Dutch complex of some sort? Why?
I have to have to have to complain again about the Brazil--Ghana match. Ghana had several shots that were damned close, and the corner kick-to-head shot in the 2nd half was almost almost in but for Dida's pure luck. Both the 2nd and 3rd Brazil goals were clearly off side. I don' t know what the linesman was doing (and if I'm not mistaken it was the same assistant referee). A lot of the yellow cards also seemed too severe, especially the silly fake-diving incident that sent off the Ghanaian kid.
I still love Brazil but I can't stand this kind of officiating. Ghana played so well, it's a shame the match went down this way.

Well, as Knowing put it, being rich (AC's case) and pretty (vB) is almost like suffering brain damage at age two, so you really need to give it to van Basten that he managed to excel as a player and, later, as a coach. It's jut like seeing a blond with big boobs, but when you discover that she is smart (though not very often, sadly), you kind of ignore the other smart skirts and said to yourself, wow!!!

I hadn't until I saw your post.
Not unlike the fluff reporting NBC always does for Olympic figure skating competitions.
I don't strongly "root for" any team to win in most matches, with the exception of Brazil of course, at least to semifinals so that they get to play the full 7 matches.
Sometimes, football is just football.
But from the article one can see how the sport catches so much passion in people.

‘Offside’ is one of the trickiest call. Ghana was taking a great risk by pushing its defending players close to the mid-field. I was searching for more definite explanation of ‘offside’, and I ran into this
:
”… Offside penalties are invoked anytime a referee's favorite team gets in a bind. In American football offside is easy to spot: it's when someone crosses the line of scrimmage before the ball is snapped. In soccer, however, the penalty can be assessed at virtually any time. It relates to a player's roster position and where he is physically compared to the rest of his team. Most people need a supercomputer to figure it out, yet English and Latin American soccer fans can do it in their heads after a couple pints of beer…’

在看德国和阿根廷比赛重播,德国队可不是手抓生肉的野蛮人时代了,个人技术还挺好的嘛(反正我的期望也不高。。。)当然不能象阿根廷那样脚一勾带球过人,带不过,传嘛。也不怎么太多长传,大多是中距离的直传而已。阿根廷,可惜了。技术还是很好的,攻守全面。
主场的优势是无穷的。对德国人来说是没有心理压力这回事的。我就不记得他们上次几时在点球上吃过亏。他们左边有个中场的,传球很准,让我想起过去有个很小个子的,叫啥啥 Kessler,也是很能长传,专冲人脑门上传。你别看他们不好看,这也是真本事啊, 你倒来个三十米长传来看看。
我的非球迷的变态心理还表现在,一向喜欢看人罚点球,如果在加时赛里分胜负,我总有点失望。不知道是出于什么幸灾乐祸的心理,我就喜欢看大家愁眉苦脸地上去,手软脚软,该进的球踢不进。多刺激啊。

Rooney stepped on the opponent's sensitive area, and then pushed and shoved another person. I don't think the red card was too harsh. Rooney was being an asshole from the start. I'm afraid he deserved it. The ref was probably fed up with him antics.
The yellow on Ronaldo for handball, I thought was a little too harsh. I couldn't agree that was intentional.

我也是。以前我甚至不喜欢他,98年我最喜欢齐达内这个阿尔及利亚农民,所以对小贝毫无同情心。这届世界杯小贝的气质沉稳很多,每次出场前看他微笑着和对手队长聊天,很迁就的拉着花童的手,真是和以前不一样了。CAVA wrote:自认不是Beckham的screaming girl fans之一,可是昨天看见他掉眼泪,今天辞去队长职务,我很难过。It's like end of an era。其它不提,他做队长是非常用心的。我觉得他这届世界杯比任何时候都handsome。Jun wrote:Right before his free kick that scored, I was about to say something derogatory about him and his screaming girl fans and his publicity.

That is quite all right. I think being a father can change a man a lot. I didn't even think about his public image.Jun wrote:Much more conscious of his own image in front of the camera now?每次出场前看他微笑着和对手队长聊天,很迁就的拉着花童的手,真是和以前不一样了。
Sorry to be the cynic. Yeah he's still got it in terms of the free kick. That's as much as I would comment.
Kind of a follow-up about various players who had committed various offense.
England's Rooney Draws Two-Match Ban
By JOHN PYE
The Associated Press
Saturday, July 8, 2006; 5:03 PM
BERLIN -- Striker Wayne Rooney was suspended for two competitive international matches and fined $4,085 by a FIFA disciplinary panel that reviewed his ejection from England's World Cup quarterfinal loss to Portugal.
Rooney was given a red card by referee Horacio Elizondo for stomping on Portugal defender Ricardo Carvalho in the 62nd minute of the quarterfinals.
He denied it was intentional, saying he was "gobsmacked" by the charge, but a FIFA disciplinary committee on Saturday found him guilty of violent conduct. Rooney faced an automatic one-game suspension by virtue of the straight red, but the committee doubled the punishment.
Rooney will be suspended for the first two of England's 12 qualifying matches for the 2008 European Championship. The short-tempered Manchester United forward has a history of ejections at the top level, dating back to December 2002 when _ at age 17 _ he was red-carded in a Premier League match for Everton.
England opens qualifying with games against Andorra on Sept. 2 and Macedonia four days later. The teams are the lowest-ranked in a group also containing Croatia, Israel, Russia and Estonia.
In other punishments announced Saturday, two Argentina players were suspended for their parts in a skirmish that followed their quarterfinal loss to Germany.
Leandro Cufre was banned for four matches and fined $8,170 for kicking Germany defender Per Mertesacker in a melee that followed the penalty shootout at Berlin's Olympic Stadium. Maxi Rodriguez was suspended for two matches and fined $4,085 for throwing punches during the skirmish. Cufre, an unused substitute in the match, was handed a red card after the final whistle.
Germany midielder Torsten Frings missed the World Cup semifinal loss to Italy because of a suspension stemming from the quarterfinal. In a quick ruling on the eve of the semifinal after new footage of the brawl was shown on German and Italian TV, Frings was found guilty of punching Julio Cruz.
"I feel betrayed as it was not what I deserved," Frings was quoted saying in German newspapers. "FIFA destroyed my dream. I was punished for defending myself."
FIFA spokesman Andreas Herren said the disciplinary committee did not immediately release comments on its findings.
The disciplinary panel took two days to deliberate Rooney's case and three days for the Argentine pair.
England's Football Association submitted a defense to the disciplinary committee, but Rooney was widely expected to be banned for more than one match. UEFA president Lennart Johansson said he agreed with the original ruling by Elizondo, who will referee Sunday's World Cup final between Italy and France.
After breaking his foot on April 29, Rooney's place at the World Cup was in doubt until just before England's second match against Trinidad and Tobago on June 15.
He was cleared to play against Trinidad, despite lacking match fitness, and went on as a second-half substitute in the 2-0 win.
He started the third match against Sweden and the second-round win over Ecuador. In the quarterfinal, he was sent off in the 62nd minute, leaving England a man short for almost an hour. Portugal won on penalties after the match finished 0-0 after 120 minutes.
